Review Summary

Café Olimpico is widely celebrated as a Montreal staple, recognized for its authentic Italian-style espresso, delicious signature coffee drinks like the Remix and Café Crema, and high-quality pastries such as cannoli and tiramisu. While the atmosphere is consistently described as vibrant, cozy, and reminiscent of a classic European cafe, the spaces are notably small, leading to frequent lineups and limited indoor seating. Despite the busy environment, the staff is frequently praised for being exceptionally fast, friendly, and welcoming, making the overall experience highly recommended for those seeking a quality coffee break in the heart of the city.

We recommend stopping by Café Olimpico for a coffee! We tried the espresso macchiato & cappuccino, & both were very nice & also more affordable than most spots in downtown Montreal. We appreciated the staff's (or owner's) incredible friendliness & energy, it made our visit even more enjoyable.
We chose to sit inside, but we'd actually recommend getting your coffee to-go. While the café has a cozy atmosphere, the space is quite small, & when it gets busy, it can feel a bit crowded with people waiting in line. Overall, great coffee, great service-definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely bombbb treats - so so fresh. I recommend the pistachio chocolate chip cookie. I could eat 3 or 4 of those in a row. & hands down the best chocolat chai's I have ever had. So rich & decadent… made with real melted chocolate. The barista was hilarious & worked fast but it was so busy they maybe could have had a second person behind the counter. Also just a note, maybe not the best place to choose if you're wanting to sit down with a friend or group & socialize as there are very few tables. But once again the product is AMAZING. Their affogato is so out of this world.
